Make in Color : Live Life Brighter - Lesley Anne Robinson

Saturday, August 10
2:00pm - 5:00pm (3 hours)

About the Class:
Do you feel like you always doubt your color choices with your projects, especially when it comes to brioche knitting, stranded colorwork, stripes, or any projects with multiple colors? It can feel very overwhelming and stressful, especially if you are shopping and need to make a decision in the store or online. In this class, I will be sharing all of my color theory expertise from my art school background, where to start when choosing colors for your projects, and a surefire way to make sure you will LOVE your finished objects without the guessing game. After looking and choosing colors, we will begin swatching to see what they look like together in your stitch pattern of choice. If there is time, we might even take a little shopping / field trip in the vendor hall! 

This is a lecture style class with hands-on learning towards the end and throughout.

Homework:
Look through your stash and bring lots of yarn leftovers in different colors in any base / gauge. You can also bring full skeins in combinations for specific projects, if you would like help in choosing!

Required Materials:

• Yarn!! Bring as much from your stash as you'd like so that we can play with different color combinations in class.
• Circular or interchangeable needles between sizes US 3 - US 6 / 3.25mm - 4.0mm - basically something with which to swatch
• I will also be bringing leftover yarns as backup in case anyone wants to play with extra colors!
